Are You Ready For a Nest?
Recently, I left a job-site early on a chilly fall afternoon. I picked up my iPhone and with a few taps, turned up the heat so the house was toasty warm upon arriving home. Then later that night, I felt a bit too warm so I turned the heat down using the my iPhone that was on my night stand.
For some this might seem like old hat. But for others, this is something right out of Star Trek. From one of the designers of the iPod, we can now have much improved control over how we heat or cool our homes thanks to a well-designed piece of technology called NEST.
NEST is a digital, self-learning thermostat that can be controlled by any
device that has online access such as a smartphone, computer or tablet. The beauty lies not only in its good looks, but also in its ease of use and simplicity.
Once installed, you use it as you normally would any thermostat adjusting it to suit your comfort. After about ten days, the NEST will start setting itself based upon your usage pattens. It will also go in to an away mode if it senses that no has occupied the space for a certain length of time.
In a nutshell, NEST is a worthy technology for your home because:
1. NEST looks fabulous on any wall. No clunkiness here.
2. No complicated use or programming instructions.
3. Turn it up, turn it down. Done.
4. Nice big numbers that are easy to read.
5. Cool Tech to show off to your friends!
